Princess Celestia sends Twilight Sparkle a letter, asking the same question she always does. Maybe a visit from Spike will prompt her to give an answer at last.

Lengthened version of the 6th-place finisher in the /fic/ mini write-off "One Little Mistake."

Thanks to The Descendant for reading over this for me and making sure it had something useful to say.

This story is a sequel to For The One You Love

There's nothing like the birth of a new foal to give a little joy (and a little chaos) to your lives. Little Apple Fritter has done just that, working his way into everpony's heart with just an adorable yawn and a giggle. Everypony thinks he's the best thing since oats: his parents, his grandparents (on both sides), his mother's friends, his father's family, his mother's ex-fiancé...

Wait. What?

It's the End. Equestria has fallen. Her lands are black and sick. Her skies are dark and cold. All that lives is dead – or corrupted by a foe long thought gone.

Millions of lives are lost, among them heroes and princesses, with its remaining survivors forced to retreat to their last safe haven. For five years, they have struggled to survive, dealing with sieges, rebellions, starvation, and death. The Pony Race is all but doomed.

But hope may yet live.

Not all of the Elements have perished. Two survive, and these two final bastions of Ponykind will make an effort to ride into the coming darkness to end it once and for all...

...or be swallowed by it like everything else.

Applejack travels alone down an old, dusty, well traveled road. The end of her long journey is near. Soon, she will finally be able to lie down and rest with her friends and family. She only needs to climb one final hill, so long as she can find the strength to reach its top.

But she just feels so tired.

Applejack has never missed a meal on purpose before, let alone a Pie Day dinner – that glorious day of the week serving Granny's famed hot, fresh apple pie. So why was Applejack absent at the dining table today, of all days? Little does the rest of the family know, Applejack's a lot closer than they think – she's in her bedroom, nervously pacing around and building up the courage to perform the single hardest thing she's ever done.

What is this herculean task that not even Applejack can overcome?

Being honest…

Now With Dramatic Reading!

Four ponies, four different perspectives. Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle and Applejack all share their perspectives of how Dash and AJ became a couple, and how they affected the outcome.

Another image-inspired shipping story, the impetus for this came from the John Joseco pic I'm using as the cover art. This one's a deliberate counter to Appledashed, too; AJ and RD are just too darn cute together to keep apart entirely.

This story is a sequel to The Sunshine Chronicles

Sunshine Delight has a nearly-perfect life. She has two wonderful mothers, a younger sister she loves to pieces, and spreads smiles and happiness wherever she goes.

But she feels empty. She wants to know where she comes from. With no magic in Equestria powerful enough to birth a child to two mothers, she will travel to the ends of the world to find the answer.

The only question is... will she like the answer she receives?

(Story is ON HIATUS until some of my other stories are completed.)

After finishing her portion of the day's harvest in record time, Applejack heads home early to check on how Apple Bloom's doing alone in their house. What she discovers once she gets there shocks her right to her core, and what happens afterwards changes the way she sees her little sister forever.

First runner-up in Obselescence's The Most Dangerous Game contest, using the prompt "An OC and a major canon character (in this case, Apple Bloom) fall in love with each other."

"Do you understand the price of disobedience? Find the pieces. Retrieve the pieces. You have two hours. Do not disobey."

Rainbow Dash finds herself terrified of one of her best friends without cause or reason. What follows is how she deals with the unlikely situation with the help of her friends.
Contains unrepentant Appledash, sex themes and implied and inferred violence. Nothing graphic, but probably worth a gore tag.
